If you just want to have fun, bet small and go for parlays.

[Akbarkoe]

Most of the time it’s greed that messes us up. We start with small bets but our mind is already dreaming of hitting it big. We want to double or triple our bankroll overnight, and that’s when we start losing track of being realistic. So instead of stressing out chasing that one “life-changing” win, why not keep it simple?

If your goal is to win something like $1000, then just treat it like a parlay grind. A small $5 a day can do it. Think of it as throwing a few bucks for fun - if it hits, great, if not, move on to the next day. The key is to enjoy the ride, while keeping your losses in control.

Changing life? by gambling? Sometimes I want to laugh at all this, I think is it possible to change life here, logic says no, it's irrational to pursue luck, gambling is too complex to get tired.

With the phrase change life already determines that greed exists, how can it all be linear with someone who is not greedy, play like you are shopping for yourself, enjoy just for that small space, bet passionately so that you have fun in it, luck is a fish that needs to be baited so that they come and bite your hook.

This is a very good strategy but people get addicted to betting small amounts and greed forces them to bet big amounts. When they win small amounts they think that if they had bet big amounts they could have won more money and from this idea people start betting big amounts and lose a lot of money. Another thing to be honest those who gamble I would say they never gamble for fun because no person wants to lose their hard earned money by gambling. They have a reason behind gambling to win money they gamble for that reason. I will not consider betting more money or betting less money as the main reason for losing in gambling I would say a gambler should gamble within certain limits so that he does not get addicted to it. And gamblers should not spend any money on gambling outside of gambling using their discretionary income.

I don't really believe in luck because it's impossible to influence, so I use a different approach. I try to do what I can as a player. For example, I constantly work on improving my game, trying to develop a strategy, control my emotions, and strictly follow my bankroll rules to avoid going over my bet. At the same time, I don't give up the pleasure of the game and bet on matches that I still find interesting. That way, even if I don't end up winning, I'll at least lose less than if I hadn't been playing lazily.

At the beginning it was fun, but after many bets and all of them lost, I no longer feel it's fun anymore.

I think even someone want to win a good amount of money through parlay bet, the maximum odds should be @10.00, more than that it's hard and you might only win once from many attempts.

My personal experience, predicting 5 favorite teams is easier than predicting 2 underdogs.

[/quote] Betting everyday is also something that I consider as not been a good thing if actually we are gambling for the purpose of having fun. Because gambling $5 each day may not mean anything to you but over time you finds your self increasing the gambling stake which may not go down in the areas of finances .no one should gamble every day that is a sign of addiction and should be stop as early as possible before it's becomes a big problem.


If one is to have fun then it should be done moderately and not everyday .Gambling everyday is not what I see as having fun that's something else which is not a good attribute to me.

Isn't that exactly same kind of greed and equally unrealistic? It's just about which way you prefer, and doesn't affect to outcome.

When you have same $ goal with smaller bet, you are just dropping your changes from unrealistic to highly unrealistic. I mean, for sure, you have a small change but i thought this was about being realistic on your goals?

You can keep your losses in control by sticking to your budget, it doesn't need "low" if your budget can handle bigger bets. Unless your budget can't handle any bigger bets, and that would mean you shouldn't be making them in the first place.
